I guess this is probably better as an online store rather than a walk in. I went here on Saturday to purchase some quality canned cat food for my now "almost" toothless furry buddy.

They claim to have a wide variety of food brands available but once inside there is very little to chose from for a cat.

I ended up spending $50.00 on 5 cans of food! 3 large cans and 2 smaller ones. I am doing this on the recommendation of my vet so wanted to see what food my cat liked best as he is very fussy.

I noticed this morning that they have best before dates on the bottoms of the cans. To my shock 3 of them were expired! One dated back to 2009! When I phoned the store today the woman I spoke with said that the girls at the desk should have told me that its still ok to feed my cat out of date products.

I researched this and found that yes it is OK to a certain length of time, but after too long they lose their nutritional benefit, which is why they cost SO MUCH in the first place. I told the woman I was going to return them and she said the best she could do was a store credit.

I do think its probably better to buy this stuff online, it surprises me that a can could still be there from 2009 so I might be the only one in the area that is "old school" and wanted to purchase it from the shop directly.

I'll purchase elsewhere in future though as I wouldn't eat out of date food and would never give it to my little mate either.

Approximate cost: $Varies
